WHEN YOU WHERE YOUNG

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now- here he comes

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined when you were young

Can we climb this mountain
I don't know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy
Easy now, watch it go

We're burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane that started turning
When you were young
When you were young

And sometimes you close your eyes
and see the place where you Used to live
When you were young

They say the devil's water, it ain't so sweet
You don't have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now- here he comes

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined when you were young
When you were young

I said he doesn't look a thing like Jesus
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But more than you'll ever know

LETRA ' MR. BRIGHTSIDE '

Coming out of my cage
and i've been doing just fine
gotta gotta be down
because i want it all
it started out with a kiss
how did it end up like this?
it was only a kiss
it was only a kiss
Now i'm falling asleep
and she's calling a cab
while he's having a smoke
and she's taking the drag
Now they're going to bed
and my stomach is sick
and it's all in my head
but she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
let me go
and i just can't look
it's killing me
and taking control
Jealousy
turning saints into the sea
turning through sick lullaby
joking on your alibi
but it's just the price i pay
destiny is calling me
open up my eager eyes
i'm mr. brightside
(repeat)

LETRA ' READ MY MIND '

On the corner of main street
Just tryin´ to keep it in line
You say you wanna move on and
You say I´m falling behind

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

I never really gave up on
Breakin´ out of this two-star town
I got the green light
I got a little fight
I´m gonna turn this thing around

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

The good old days, the honest man;
The restless heart, the Promised Land
A subtle kiss that no one sees;
A broken wrist and a big trapeze

Oh well I don´t mind, you don´t mind
Coz I don´t shine if you don´t shine
Before you go, can you read my mind?

Its funny how you just break down
Waitin´ on some sign
I pull up to the front of your driveway
With magic soakin´ my spine

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

The teenage queen, the loaded gun;
The drop dead dream, the Chosen One
A southern drawl, a world unseen;
A city wall and a trampoline

Oh well I don´t mind, you don´t mind
Coz I don´t shine if you don´t shine
Before you go
Tell me what you find when you read my mind

Slippin in my faith until I fall
He never returned that call
Woman, open the door, don´t let it stay
I wanna breathe that fire again

She said
Oh well I don´t mind, you don´t mind
Coz I don´t shine if you don´t shine

Put your back on me
Put your back on me
Put your back on me

The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun
When you read my mind

LETRA ' UNDER THE GUN '

She's got her halo and wings
hidden under his eyes
but she's an angel for sure
she just can't stop telling lies
But it's too late for his love
already caught in a trap
his angel's kiss was a joke
and she is not coming back
Because heaven sends and heaven takes
crashing cars in his brain
keep him tied up to a dream
and only she can set him free
and then he says to me
Kill me now, kill me now, kill me now, kill me now
kill me now, kill me now, kill me now, kill me now
Yeah she's got a criminal mind
he's got a reason to pray
his life is under the gun
he's got to hold every day
Now he just wants to wake up
yeah, just to prove it's a dream
cause she's an angel for sure
but that remains to be seen
Because heaven sends and heaven takes
crashing cars in his brain
keep him tied up to a dream
and only she can set him free
and then he says to me
Kill me now, kill me now, kill me now, kill me now
kill me now, kill me now, kill me now, kill me now
Stupid on the streets of london
james dean in the rain
without her it's not the same
the same, the same, but it's alright
Because heaven sends and heaven takes
crashing cars in his brain
keep him tied up to a dream
and only she can set him free
and then he says to me
Kill me now, kill me now, kill me now, kill me now
kill me now, kill me now, kill me now, kill me now
again and again

LETRA ' WHERE IS SHE? '



A police car was outside your house today
I haven't seen you, in a couple of days
They knocked on your door, and then they went away
Your mother looked scared, but she didnt cry
She didnt cry

On one hand, I've got myself to blame
But on the other, it's always the same
Follow suit
shake your head, tell me that its a lie
I don't want you for dead, but I want you to die
Without a good friend, on a sunshine
I know I want survival, but you don't know why

Where is she?
Where is she?
Where is my baby girl
Oh I've seen you you're crazy
What have you done with my whole wide world?

On one hand, I've got myself to blame
But on the other, it's always the same thing
Follow suit
shake your head, tell me that its a lie
I don't want you for dead, but I want you to die
Without a good friend, on a bad day
Without a soft surrender, but what do you say?

All of these tears that we've cried
All of these tears that we've cried

Where is she?
Where is she?
Where is my baby girl
Oh I've seen you, you're crazy
What have you done with my whole wide world?

Where is she?
Where is she?
Where is my baby girl
Oh I've seen you you're crazy
What have you done with my whole wide world?
What have you done with my whole wide world?
What have you done?

' ALL THESE THINGS THAT I'VE DONE '

When there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son?
If you can hold on
If you can hold on

I wanna stand up
I wanna let go
You know
You know
No, you don't
You don't

I wanna shine on in the hearts of men
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand
Another head aches another heart breaks
I'm so much older that I can take

And my affection
Well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection
No no no no

Help me out yeah
You know you gotta help me out yeah
Don't you put me on a back burner
You know you gotta help me out yeah

And when there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son?
These changes ain't changing me
The cold hearted boy I used to be

Yeah, You know you gotta help me out yeah
Don't you put me on a back burner
You know you gotta help me out yeah

You're gonna bring yourself down

I got soul but I'm not a soldier
I got soul but I'm not a soldier

Over and in
Last call for sin
While everyone is lost
The battle is won
With all these things that I've done

All these things that I've done
If you can hold on
If you can hold on
Hold on

Bones

I don't wanna be crippled and cracked
Shoulders wrists knees and back
Ground to dust and ash
Crawling on all fours

When you've got to feel that in your bones
When you've got to feel that in your bones

Now I can't climb the stairs
Pieces missing everywhere
Prozac painkillers

When you've got to feel that in your bones
When you've got to feel that in your bones
And I used to fly like Peter Pan
All the children flew when I touched their hands
They say you've got to feel that in your bones
They say you've got the feel that in your bones

LETRA ' DON'T SHOOT ME SANTA '




Brandon
Oh Santa
I've been waiting on you
Santa
That's funny kid
Because I've been coming for you
Brandon
Oh Santa
I've been killing just for fun
Santa
Well the party's over kid
Because I
Because I got a bullet in my gun
Brandon
A bullet in your what?

I promise you
Did every little thing you asked me to
I can't believe the things I'm going through

Don't shoot me Santa Claus
Well no one else around believes me
But the children on the block they tease me
I couldn’t let them off that easy

Brandon
Oh Santa
It's been a real hard year
Santa
There just ain't no gettin' around this
Life is hard
But look at me
I turned out alright
Brandon
Hey Santa
Why don't we talk about it?
Work it out
Santa
Believe me
This ain't what I wanted
I love all you kids, you know that
Hell, I remember when you were just 10 years old
Playing out there in the desert
Just waiting for a sip of that sweet Mojave rain
Brandon
In the sweet Mojave rain
The boy was on his own

Don't shoot me Santa Claus
I've been a clean living boy
I promise you
Did every little thing you asked me to
I can't believe the things I'm going through

Hey Santa Claus
Well no one else around believes me
But the children on the block they tease me
I couldn’t let them off that easy

They had it coming
So why can’t you see?
I couldn't turn my cheek no longer
The sun is going down and Christmas is near
Just look the other way and I’ll disappear forever

Woo!

Don't shoot me Santa Claus
Well no one else around believes me
But the children on the street they tease me
I couldn't let them off that easy

Believe me
Santa
Santa

LETRA ' JENNY WAS A FRIEND OF MINE '

We took a walk that night, but it wasn't the same
we had a fight on the promenade out in the rain
she said she loved me, but she had somewhere to go
she couldn't scream while i held i close
i swore i'd never let her go
Tell me what you wanna know
oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
there ain't no motive for this crime
jenny was a friend of mine
so come on, oh come on, oh come on
I know my rights, i've been here all day and it's time
for me to go, so let me know if it's alright
i just can't take this, i swear i told you the truth
she couldn't scream while i held i close
i swore i'd never let her go
Tell me what you wanna know
oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
and then you whisper in my ear
i know what you're doing here
so come on, oh come on, oh come on
there ain't no motive for this crime
jenny was a friend of mine
oh come on, oh come on, oh come on

Sam's Town

We all know the chosen toys of candy girls and pretty boys
Make up that face to win the race
Life's a pig in this town
Suck my dick in this town

This town is our town
It is so glamorous
I'll bet you'd live here if you could
And be one of us

This town is our town
So fucking glamorous
I'll bet you'd live here if you could

Change our mind like we said before
We are dreamers, we are whores
Discarded scars like worn out cars
Litter the streets of this town
Litter the streets in this town

This town is our town
So fucking glamorous
I'll bet you'd live here if you could
And be one of us

This town is our town

LETRA ' SPACEMAN '


It started with a low light
Next thing i knew they ripped me from my bed
And then they took my blood type
It left a strange impression in my head
You know that i was hoping
That i could leave this starcrossed world behind
But when they cut me open
I guess I changed my mind
And you know I might
To loath too far from the fort this time
cuz they calling me by my name
And the shimmering white lighting
disregards the bones and satellites

That was the turning point
That was the lonely point

The songmakers makes so bad
The dreammakers couldnt make you mad
The spaceman saids everybody look down!
Its all in your mind

Now im back in auburn
I’m looking forward to this life I live
You kow its going to happen
So imitation to this life I did
You think you might cross over
Caught between my devil and the deep blue sea
You better look it over
Before you make that deep!

And you know im fine but I hear those voices at night
sometimes justify my claim
and the public don’t ground my transmission
cuz it wasn’t televised

it was the turning point
it was the lonely night

The songmakers aint so bad
The dreammakers going make you mad
The spaceman saids everybody look down!
Its all in your mind

The songmakers aint so bad
The dreammakers going make you mad
The spaceman saids everybody look down!
Its all in your mind

My global position systems are vocally addressed
They said the nile used to run from east to west
They said the nile used to run… from east to west

The songmakers makes so bad
The dreammakers going make you mad
The spaceman saids everybody look down!
Its all in my mind
The songmakers makes so bad
The dreammakers going make you mad
The spaceman saids everybody look down!
Its all in my mind
Its all in my mind
Its all in my mind
Its all in my mind
Its all in my… mind

LETRA ' UNCLE JONNY '


What is it to me this time?
Were just whores on the fucking assembly line!
Believe me, I was there
Take what I want, and get the fuck out of here

And trains wont...stop me!
Trains wont...stop me

Johnnys been a very bad boy (3x)
Johnnys been a very bad...

This door is so high
My life is oblivious to you,and
The sun hurts my eyes
But remember, you are not god!

And trains wont...stop me!
Trains wont...stop...

And you look at me
See through me
I am nothing to you
You look at me!
See through me!
I am nothing to you!

What does it wanna be?
You love you, not me!
Even with my eyes I take it in!
Destroy this in me!
But if you want one,
One will go down
Fighting for...you!

LETRA ' WHERE THE WHITE BOYS DANCE '


Take me to the place here the white boys dance.
Take me to the place where they run and play.
My baby is gone, you might have a chance.
Just take me to the place where the white boys dance.

They hug in silence,
As the sun sets.
On their empty street,
Their suspicions where they rise and hide.
And then who sweeps them off she doesn't leave.
She walks inside him,
pours a strong one.
Put her mind at ease.
It's the calm before another storm.
And the friendships from the whiskey to the keys.

Take me to the place where the white boys dance.
Take me to the place where they run and play.
My baby is gone, you might have a chance.
Just take me to the place where the white boys... dance.

Her heart is racing.
She phones a friend to say:
I'm in an awful place.
That fools been messin' around on me
I've seen it in his eyes on his face
Hold on a minute.
You're talking crazy
Don't be that jealous girl.
Just telephone you need an hour or two.
Cause we're going go and change somebodies word.

Take me to the place where the white boys dance.
Take me to the place where they run and play.
My baby is gone, you might have a chance.
Just take me to the place where the white boys dance.

It's the calm before another storm...
It's the calm before another storm.
And the friendships from the whiskey to the keys.

Take me to the place where the white boys dance.
Take me to the place where they run and play.
My baby is gone, you might have a chance.
Just take me to the place where the white boys... dance

LETRA ' WHY DO I KEEP COUNTING? '


There´s a plane and i am flying
There´s a mountain waiting for me
oh these years have been so trying

I don´t know if I can use them
am I strong enough
to be the one
will I live to have some children

Help me get down
I can make it I´ll make it down x2

If i only new the answer
I would´nt be bothering you

Help me get down
I can make it help me get downx2

If i only knew the answer
and If all are days are numbered
than why do i keep counting

My sugar sweet
is so atainable
this behaviour so unexplainable
the days just slip and slide
like they always did
Tje trouble is my head
won´t let me forget

I took one last good look around
so many unusual sounds
I gotta get my feet on the ground

Help me get down
I can make
Help me get down
I can make it
If I only knew the answer
I wouldnt be bothering you
Help me get down
I can make
Help me get down
I can make it
If I only knew the answer
and if all are days are numbered

If I change my way of living
and If i pave my streets with good times
will the mounain keep on giving

and if all of our days are numbered
then why do i keep counting
